Biodiversity Fund's inclusive Advisory Group and Auxiliary Body meet in advance of Council

生物多样性基金包容性咨询小组和附属机构在理事会会议前举行会议

In a continued demonstration of the innovative and inclusive nature of the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF), its Advisory Group and Auxiliary Body are meeting on May 14 and 15, in advance of the June meeting of the Fund’s governing Council.

为了持续彰显全球生物多样性框架基金（GBFF）的创新和包容性，其咨询小组和附属机构将于5月14日和15日在基金理事会6月会议之前举行会议。

The GBFF was established in record time by the Global Environment Facility, in response to a decision by the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, as a mechanism to support implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Its first full-sized projects are already under implementation in Mexico, Brazil, and Gabon, with a work program of three more projects to be considered by the Council in June.

根据《生物多样性公约》缔约方大会第十五次会议的决定，全球环境基金在创纪录的时间内设立了GBFF，作为支持实施《昆明-蒙特利尔全球生物多样性框架》的机制。它的第一个全面项目已经在墨西哥、巴西和加蓬实施，另外三个项目的工作计划将在6月份由理事会审议。

The GBFF possesses an innovative governance body that balances representation of donor and recipient countries, while also allowing inputs from non-sovereign current and potential contributors, such as sub-national governments, the private sector, and philanthropies.

GBFF拥有一个创新的治理机构，平衡了捐助国和受援国的代表性，同时也允许来自非主权当前和潜在捐助者的投入，如地方政府、私营部门和慈善机构。

The Auxiliary Body to the GBFF meets virtually on May 14. The body is established to provide technical advice and recommendations to the GBFF Council on implementation of the programming directions in a comprehensive and independent manner. Sixteen participants, representing 11 different GEF constituencies, will participate in this 2nd meeting.

GBFF的辅助机构实际上在5月14日举行会议。该机构的成立是为了以全面和独立的方式向GBFF理事会提供关于执行方案指示的技术咨询和建议。代表全环基金11个不同选区的16名与会者将参加第二次会议。

The Advisory Group on Non-Sovereign Participants to the GBFF will meet on May 15, also in a virtual format. This will be the first meeting of the group that provides technical advice to the GBFF Council and the GEF Secretariat on ways to engage non-sovereign contributors, including on GBFF implementation, and scaling up resource mobilization. Non-sovereign contributors include subnational governments, the private sector, and philanthropies. The Government of Quebec, which mobilized close to $1.4 million in support of the GBFF late last year, will participate in this meeting. To date, almost $382 million has been raised in two pledging sessions.

GBFF非主权参与者咨询小组将于5月15日举行会议，也是以虚拟形式举行会议。这将是该小组的第一次会议，该小组就如何让非主权捐助者参与进来，包括执行《全球环境基金》和扩大资源调动，向全球环境基金理事会和全球环境基金秘书处提供技术咨询。非主权捐助者包括地方政府、私营部门和慈善机构。去年年底筹集了近140万加元支持GBFF的魁北克政府将参加这次会议。迄今为止，已在两次认捐会议上筹集了近3.82亿美元。

These two meetings will be preceded by an observers’ briefing that gathers representatives of civil society, Indigenous Peoples and local communities , women, youth, and the private sector.

在这两次会议之前，将举行观察员简报会，民间社会、土著人民和地方社区、妇女、青年和私营部门的代表将齐聚一堂。
